High School Boosical.

I did well academically, but socially? Let’s just say election Sarah Palin has nothing on high school Casey.

Many people are very happy to escape high school. To move away from the hallowed halls of their alma mater and all the catty rumor spreading garbage that comes along with it.

I know I sure was.

Wait.

HIGH SCHOOL FOLLOWS ME WHEREVER I GO.

Many of you already know that High School Musical was filmed at my high school. It’s one thing to have the name of your high school in a huge multi million dollar movie, it’s a completely different thing to have not only your school’s name and colors, BUT YOUR ACTUAL HIGH SCHOOL in THREE multi million dollar movies.

I saw at least a dozen film clips of Zac Efron dancing where I was called a whore sophomore year by a boy I liked named Chris. On. my. VACATION. Huge twenty foot screens in the middle of the world’s largest Disney store.

Ouch.

There were parents paying close to $60 for the same cheerleading outfit I wore in 1997.

I did get to teach a REAL! EHS cheer to a 9 year old girl standing in line wating to meet Cinderella dressed head to toe in HSM gear. For about three minutes she thought I was the bomb diggity. Then I’m pretty sure she went back to thinking I’m old.

I’m with you on getting the heck out of high school. I had a good time while I was there among 3,000+ other students. But boy was I glad when it was all over! HSM3 is all the rage at school these days! (I teach first grade) It’ll be great… after the movie comes out we’ll be singing all the songs. I must say… I LOVE all things Disney!

I was ready to get out too…and I probably wouldn’t want to face my high school halls on a HUGE movie screen either. But, do you still have that cheerleading uniform? I’m thinking it could make you some BIG BUCKS!!!!

My high school was featured on a documentary that followed a group of girls from freshman year to graduation. The girls were anorexic, druggies, drunk, pregnant and any number of other calamities. Imagine telling your 9 year old “oh look, I went there” and her saying “which were you, the drunk, pregnant, depressed, etc?” I’d take Disney any day!

as I am reading this my daughter is discussing whether or not she should wear her Wildcats jersey to school or not for picture day because our girl scout troop is going to see HSM3 after school (save me please!!)
